- Mathieu van der Poel's victory at the 2019 Amstel Gold Race is one of the most incredible power performances we've ever seen. The 2023 UCI World Champion is one to never count out. This is one of, if not the best finish of all time in cycling. Beating Julian Alaphilippe, Jakob Fuglsang & more. Riders who could win the Tour de France, Strade Bianche, Liege Bastogne Liege & more.

I watched the race in a bar next to the route. They pass this bar twice in the final bit of the race. When he won that sprint everything was flying in that place: chairs, people, beer. It was brilliant.
Greatest finish of all time, 100%. He comes past Alaphillipe like he's standing still, it's bonkers. I'm a Wout van Aert fan through and through, but I will always give Mathieu the props he deserves.
Wout van Aert is also one of the greats best rider. As a Van der Poel fan.
@@daphneschuring5810 lets let wout win a flanders/roubaix or a worlds roads championship first to consider him a great.
@@JD.007what winmi g a tdf green Jersey and all 3 types of stages Road sprint time trial and mountai stages I think that's pretty great
I'm Dutch and we really need a great personality in cycling like vdPoel right now. I really hope he can keep this going for a few years to come.
But van Aert is also amazing. His dominance in the Tour of (I think) 2022 was just ridiculous, I've never seen anything like that. Trashing the whole peloton, day after day..
I saw this live broadcast, at 2.8k he was still a minute down. He was like a freight train, people trying to grab his wheel as he blew past them. The final is downhill slightly and after he made the final left he just ran down Julian and Jakob like they were fixing a flat. It was stunning.
Frankly you didn’t do it justice. You should have shown more of the period leading up to the end where Matti was riding everyone off his wheel. He was a freight train set on max speed; the strongest cyclists in the world were just hanging on in his draft. The fact that he made up that much time in such a short distance is nothing short of astounding.
I watched this live and simply couldn't believe it. Truly remarkable
Will never get tired watching this again and again and again
Amstel is not the 'regional beer' of Limburg...😂
Whats even more impressive is that MVDP at 1300 meters was still 22 seconds behind....
yeah, this video talks big but doenst show how big the gap actually was. it was massive. Everybody thought the leaders got it. Then MvdP crossed not just to the front, but outsprinted the entire group he towed. INSANE.
On the finishing strait, he wasn't 5th wheel in a group, he was first in his group and had just caught the two riders in front of him and went strait past them. :)
Yeah they left out a bunch that made this victory so impressive.
Finally a video for this beautiful moment in cycling history 🎉 love this channel 👏
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@TrueSportsLore my favorite rider, I loved it 🤩🤩
What a day.. I won £2600 that day. Incredible performance from MVP. 🍻 fella!
With him you never can say he stole a victory. It’s just insane.
Awesome video ‼️ Thanks for your effort and skill to put it together 👍🏼
Thank you!
Amstel is definitely not a Limburg regional beer😂😂😂
You could interpret it as a Dutch local beer. He talked about the AGR as the Dutch pride, aptly sponsored by a local beer, also Dutch.
Amstel is not a regional beer. It’s from Amsterdam, hence the name.
The route of Amstel Gold Race passes through villages where Brand, Gulpener, Alfa and Leeuw are brewed.
Errr. Amstel beer is named after the river Amstel, not Amsterdam.
@@markvdstaay You missed the point completely... He never said Amstel beer was named after Amsterdam. In fact both Amsterdam and Amstel beer are named after the river Amstel. In the 12th or 13th century the locals build a dam in the river. They named it Amsteldam. And later that place became the city we now know as Amsterdam.
This must be his best win. What a phenom
Bro you will probably love his World championship ‘23 effort 🙃
I saw that one@@deSintone
Great video, love this channel!!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great video, great edit! Thank you!
Great commentary !! Great ride!
Much appreciated!
Psst. scroll back up and like the video to get 1/4th of Mathieu's power...
what if i like it 4 times?
What if I already have more power? I’m not tryna downgrade
Adding 1/4 of MVdP’s power is going to be a decent upgrade for most people 😂
That's like weight doping in zwift!@@nathanfortier9559
Haha!@@alaefarmestatesllc
Mathieu van der Poel❤
1:39 so in the spring of 2019 the spring of 2001 was over 20 years ago? That's pretty amazing!
long 600w lead and 1400w sprint?? insaaaaane
I hit 1228w on a Chaingang last week... for 3 seconds, after only 20k - absolutely insane performance from MVP!!
This was something else goes to show you never give up.
Always great to see this final again, it's like Max Verstappen at Abu Dhabi 2021...
And he didn’t stop winning!!!
When I saw the title, I was certain it was Oscar Pereiro's comeback from 28m40s behind to win the 2006 Tour de France. That record for largest comeback in modern Tour de France history (post WWII) will last forever.
Check out our other video on Floyd LAndis and that day :)
@@TrueSportsLore all the videos I have found, are focused on Floyd Landis & Stages 16 & 17. The fact is that it was so much more than Floyd's failed drug test for him to win the TdF, the entire peleton had to go along with taking stage 13 off. I saw a team in this year's TdF ride the front to chase down the breakaway to try & protect a 12th place GC spot, which goes to show how much the philosophy of the peleton has changed since 2006. Oscar Pereiro winning the 2006 was far & away the most shocking 🤯 winner of the TdF in the 40 years that I have been watching, and there's almost nothing online about it. It's like he won, and vanished, except to make appearances at Vuelta & the Tour. It is far more of a shocker than Sepp Kuss winning the Giro. Is Pereiro the least accomplished Tour winner post WWII (pre-WWII data can be a bit suspect)? If so, that in itself is a story. It's like Leicester winning the Premier League, a random winner out of nowhere (still pissed as a Tottenham fan 😂)
You storytelling is crazily good!!
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Even this video is doesn’t quite do it justice, because he was so far back behind by multiple groups at one point.
It aint and never will be a monument. It is a classic
Are you familiar with the Greg LeMond 1989 come back victory over Lauren Fignon in the Tour de France? I am assuming that you are. But that was always the most amazing comeback in the most competitive tour in history. It was so exciting and I was a big Lauren Fignon fan. He was my guy. I loved watching him race. I loved his attitude. I loved the way he attacked. I love the way he rode. And to see him lose in that fashion. It was just devastating. I ended up working for Greg LeMond not too many years later in Minnesota when he moved there which is so weird right? He opened a restaurant called the tour café which was decorated with giant 2' x 3' Siva chrome prints of the tour with his polkadot jerseys and his yellow jerseys in frames around the restaurant which was in a three-story Victorian house it was such a cool place. That's where I worked.
Great video. Thumbs up. Although it does bother me that your camera is out of focus brother…
best finish last years and his father did the same years ago unbelieveble
It was their race to lose. Alaphilippe and Fugulsang played cat and mouse so much that Kwiato and then the rest all caught up
Hr 170 - 6h OMG!!!
Lance saying he has never witnessed performance like it, ever 😬
But did he attend the pre race briefing?
Amstel is not the local beer.
Local als in Nederlands. Weet hij veel dat dat van de dam op de Amstel, eh Amsterdam komt ;-)
Huilen
I enjoyed the video. Well edited, smart commentary (but it “cycling consensus,” not “general cycling consensus.” A consensus is a general opinion.)
also he said 1mn=10km ? or it's my imagination
No cars involved!?…
hills in the netherlands? Unfathomable?!
Come over one day, we'll have a beer once your done 😊
Indeed most of the Netherlands is flat, but the very south, bordering to both Germany and Belgium, is the most northern part of the Ardennes, a hilly area that features more Classics in professional bicycle racing like Liège-Bastogne-Liège and La Flèche Wallonne, both in the east of Belgium.
nice vid but the comparison with usain bolt as a even bigger legend is unfair :P
EPO ...................................racing against Armstrong ........yeah nuff said
What does watts have to do with cycling?
False power data. its never been released..It's a guess
It's not the toughest and the longest but damn ... goed gedaan
Kindly reply me
Love your content
I am your big fan and watched your all videos
Your videos needs some editing
I am video editor in reasonable price
If you want demo I will provide you
So if you are interested then let me know
Is Adrie van der poel, the juicer, his father?
Edit: hahahaha apparently he is *SHOCKED pikachu*
Since Lance Armstrong farce, no one believes in these miracles comebacks anymore.
Doping?
The watts comparison to Usain Bolt is moronic to say the least. Your comparison would be correct if MVP made 2700 Watts like Jeffrey Hoogland did on the 1K sprint. Not even half of that was reached on what you showed ... fail. Downvoted when I saw doping boi being quoted.
Amstel isn't a local Limburg beer. The river Amstel is on the other side of the country near Amsterdam.
The other side of the country would be Groningen, “er gaat niets boven Groningen!”
Not a race that I saw.

That word is so overused
But not in the case of MVDP@@alaefarmestatesllc
@@alaefarmestatesllc Used pretty accurately in this case especially after the season he had
All possible because of the 3 dumbest riders of the peloton where in front 🤦♂️ i rember watching it live... they were practically standing still. Deserved win for MVDP. It thought those snails in front a great lesson. "Play stupid games, win no prizes" 😂😂
Who the hell is Mathew?
The proof he is taking susy pills
Seriously? That is not like running a 9.58 in the middle of a marathon. Go straight to the pointless, thoughtless, hyperbolic exaggeration. Have you seen the power outputs required in the track sprint or Hoogerland's kilo world record (1000w average for 55 seconds with a peak power at about 2700w)? MVDP was nowhere near those power outputs and that would be a better comparison to Usain Bolt's 9.58.
This is a dumb comparison
Is you by any chance a bit jealous?
Bro chill
Need to take a chill pill man
